That's what I figured but on NVC's website it says "Step 1: Choose an agent Step 2: Pay fees". So I was confused about why it makes it seem as though you choose an agent first. But all I can do is wait for the payment to clear and see what happens next I guess.

 

It also says on the website Please allow up to 3 weeks for the NVC to process your DS-261 before continuing to the next step.

 

Does it really take them up to 3 weeks just to process who the agent will be???

To my understanding the petitioner is the agent now automatically and choosing and agent is now obsolete.

please confirm @Mrsamoah2019

There's a "Choose Agent" button at the top of the screen on CEAC but it is grayed out right now as if it can't be clicked. I don't know if that's just because my payment hasn't cleared yet or because like you said, it's now obsolete.

Most people don’t get the option to choose an agent anymore from my understanding, so I don’t know why yours is different. I would just wait until your payments say paid until you worry about that, unless someone else can offer more advice.

I forgot to put N/A in the blank spaces, and the documents are already submitted so I can’t change it..

I have heard that I can receive an Rfe because of that. Is that true?

You should be fine. It is not mandatory. It just helps so that they can focus on the information that does apply to you.
